Arts & Craft

Najino potovanje po čudovitem kontinentu Afrika se je počasi končalo. Toda to potovanje je za naju le začetek novega potovanja skozi življenje. Vsak korak, ki ga naredimo, kamorkoli gremo, je potovanje zase. Bilo je dolgo in intenzivno potovanje glede osebne in duhovne rasti in še vedno se vsak dan veliko učiva od življenja samega, od ljudi, ki jih srečujeva na poti ter druga od druge.

Čar najinega potovanja je bil tudi v tem, da se prej nisva poznali in edini način da sva potovali v miru in v veselem vzdušju je bil ta, da sva bili ogledalo druga drugi.

Tekom potovanja so se v nama porodile nove ideje in sanje, ki jih želiva uresničiti. Ker so sanje velike in nekje morava začeti, sva v ta namen naredili 14 mesečni koledar z afriškimi otroki, s katerimi želiva predstaviti najino delovanje, med drugim tudi odprtje neprofitne organizacije. Vse te otroke sva srečali tekom poti in vsak od njih ima svojo zgodbo, katero želiva na kratko predstaviti tudi vam. Otroke sva izbrali zato ker verjameva, da so oni naše upanje za boljšo in mirno prihodnost. Skupaj jih vzgajajmo na ljubeč in topel način.

Tisti, ki se vam zdi najino delovanje zanimivo, naju lahko podprete z nakupom  14-mesečnega koledarja po 12 EUR (7 EUR posebna ponovoletna cena  (+ stroški poštnine, če se ga osebno ne da prevzeti). Pohitite, saj je na zalogi  le še nekaj koledarjev!

We came to the end of our African journey, but this trip was just the beginning of our real life journey. Every step we take in our life is a journey itself, wherever we are. It was a long way for us to grow in a spiritual and mental way, we are still learning every day from the life itself, from people we meet and from each other. We didn’t know each other before and the only possible way for us to travel together in a peaceful and joyful way was to be a mirror to each other and to be ready to face ourselves.Our intense journey started to evolve inside of us new ideas and dreams that we want to realize:

* to connect people from different cultures from all over the world
* to do our share in local communities (especially children), help them to live in a better
environment, in better conditions
* to promote voluntary work worldwide, so each of us can contribute in that way
* to support local people anywhere in doing art and craft work
* to organize meaningful events
* the list doesn’t end…we have many ideas, but we are going to bring them on later…
..step by step…

Our dreams are big and we needed to start somewhere, that’s why we made a 14 month calendar with African children as soon we are about to open a non-profit organization. We met all these kids on our journey through Africa and each of them has it’s own story, which we want to bring you also through calendar.

Why did we choose children? Because we think they are our hope for better and peaceful future. Let’s take care of them in a warm and loving way.

People who find our work meaningful and want to support us in what we do, can buy this 14 - month calendar for 12 EUR (+ postage costs).

There is many of you who are with us and support our work throughout our Africa journey. We are very thankful for each and every one of you. This time we have prepared real African arts & crafts in exchange for your donation. We chose paintings from northern part of Tanzania (Tinga tinga style, Maconde paintings) and handcrafts made of banana leaves from southern part of Uganda, Lake Bunyonyi. Beside photos of arts and crafts you can see for yourself who are their makers, artists. By the side of the photo is written an amount of your donation, with which you are going to help us on our journey and also to the local community.

Paintings are due to easier shipment without a frame and can be sent either from Slovenia or Africa. If you feel to have any of these arts or crafts in your home to feel Africa from close, please contact us:
